Question

Should I seek child support?

Share

I'm eight weeks pregnant with my ex boyfriend's baby. When I told him I was pregnant, I told him that I was going to let him make the decision to be involved or uninvolved. And now, having a couple months to think things over and look at my financial situation, it's just not possible to do it on my own. Abortion and adoption are not an option for me; I want to keep this baby. He now lives in Florida, recently moved there from here (Cincinnati), and he has a 4 year old daughter in Massachusettes, who he sees when he goes home, and I assume provides for. He accuses his daughter's mother of purposely getting pregnant, and then when I told him I was pregnant, he accused me of the same thing. I know I didn't get pregnant on purpose, and since having him accuse me, I wonder if his ex even did. Anyway, I'm worried about having that conversation with him. If I could go without help I would, but I just can't. Should I talk to him or wait till the baby is born?
